[Dr Kain]

You know, I have mixed feelings on the AC series. The first game was extremely subpar, as it got really boring almost halfway through and then the cliffhanger was an insult. I also hated how you could not kill any of your targets in secrecy, so you always had that hide and seek game after killing a target every time.

However, ACII was down right incredible. It was like they listened to every complaint about the first game and fixed it, making for one phenomenal experience. Not only was Ezio's story compelling, but I started to gain a big interest in Desmond as well and had fun with his little moments too. THe areas in ACII were a blast to play through, but the carnival was and still is the greatest moment in the entire AC series. Everything from the costumes, the masks, to the tournaments were fun. And even though the game still left off on a cliffhanger, it was still fun and did not seem like an insult as it had before. It felt like I had completed a story.

Brotherhood had some great moments to it as well despite it's slow start, while Revelations became more of the same. I did love the closure feeling to Ezio's story in Revelations, but you could definitely see that the game was rushed. Oh, and the tower defense bit was atrocious.

The Embers movie that finishes Ezio's story was quite good though.

Which brings me to ACIII, which was a vast disappointment. Connor was a supbar assassin, he was slow, the controls no longer felt fluid, and the assassinations became scripted QTEs instead of straight up assassinations I could plan out and do my self. Most important, this game was a friggin glitch fest. I cannot 100% it because of a glitch with the Homestead stuff, as even though it says I have scanned all of the workers, the game only recognizes that I have scanned the lumberers twice and any time I scan them doing something it gives me an error message. And then the ending was an even bigger insult to our intelligence than the first game's ending. In fact, it has completely ruined the series for me and I will not be playing Black Flag (which should not even have a number in front of it, as it is NOT a sequel).
